In IFS-Informed EMDR: Creative and Collaborative Approaches, 1st Edition, editor David Polidi presents practical methods for combining Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing with Internal Family Systems therapy. Published by Routledge, this book provides mental health professionals with integrative trauma treatment models designed to support client recovery and enhance clinical practice.

The text synthesizes broad clinical themes to show how therapists address internal protector parts holding fear or pain prior to or alongside memory reprocessing. Theoretical concepts explore somatic integration, anti-racist psychotherapy, structural dissociation, spiritually anchored therapy, and Jungian active imagination paired with art therapy.

Containing 27 black-and-white illustrations across 370 pages, the volume incorporates specialized applications such as Phase 2.5 Discovery with blended protectors, the Syzygy model, and Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment. It offers a structured resource for therapeutic educational and training programs, as well as practicing EMDR and IFS clinicians.
